From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Liskeard operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Permanent vacancies across Devon & Cornwall come from food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.
Permanent hires across Devon & Cornwall often come from drivers already working around the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Liskeard run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.
